The Two Heroes of the Ye Family

The next morning, the sun slowly rose, and Xiaoshantou Village was still the same as usual.

Today, four of Luo Qiushan's fourteen fellow brothers led a team of 80 people over Bama Mountain for training.

Mei Zihan, Luo Qiushan and ten others were in Xiaoshantou Village after having breakfast.

Mei Zihan walked out of the mountains alone, preparing to join his master's caravan.

He wanted to report what happened last night to his master Wen Qiu Sheng, and also ask what to do next?

This was also the result of the discussion among the fourteen brothers last night. They wanted to know where this group of bandits came from?

If we want to maintain long-term peace and stability, we must eliminate all the bandits within a radius of 100 miles.

Although the emergency was handled promptly, the residents of nearby villages were not alarmed.

The only people who knew the truth about what happened last night were the villagers of Xiaoshantou Village.

However, Mei Zihan and the others are not worried about this situation.

Now the worry is where these bandits come from. If you don't eradicate the grass at its roots, it will grow back again when the spring breeze blows.

These bandits came to Xiaoshantou Village, and the other bandits in the same mountain stronghold must have known about it.

The only thing they don’t know is that there is a force in Xiaoshantou Village that is willing to destroy them.

If we fail to take the initiative, there will be endless trouble in the future, unless all the bandits in this mountain stronghold come out in full force this time.

Mei Zihan and the others naturally don't want to leave their fate to God, as they will have to follow their junior brother Ye Xiaoyang to accomplish great things in the future.

There must be no fire in the backyard. The mountainous area of ​​Xiaoshantou Village is their backyard.

Mei Zihan walked and ran for more than two hours and walked out of the mountains and arrived at the Wen family caravan on the outskirts of the county town.

Wen Qiu Sheng felt something was a little unusual when he saw his eldest disciple Mei Zihan suddenly coming to the caravan.

"Han'er, what happened?"

"Well, it's a big deal."

"Do you need me to go to Xiaoshantou Village?"

"That's what the three uncles meant. I don't think you need to intervene all the time, but the elders have spoken..."

"There's no one else here, let's talk first."

“Master, twenty bandits rode into Xiaoshantou Village last night. As soon as they arrived, they opened fire.

They demanded that all the people in Xiaoshantou Village hand over their money and property, or they would set fire to their houses."

"So, you fourteen brothers, just shoot these twenty bandits."

"Master, are you old?"

"Do you think Master is old and confused? Your junior brother is a man who hates evil.

He took you two out to Hujiang, and how could he not do something chivalrous? You must have robbed people.

Besides, your junior brother would never take out so much money from the Ye family. That’s not his character.

Although he lied to me this time, I don't blame him. What's most important is to know what kind of person he is.

And he gave you enough money.

I also told you not to tell this old man about this and make me worry about your safety."

Hearing this, Mei Zihan immediately knelt in front of Wen Qiusheng and shouted:

"Master."

"Han'er, get up quickly. You three haven't done anything wrong. Don't kneel. Master said he doesn't blame you."

"But Master..."

"Hurry up, if your junior brother was here, he wouldn't kneel. He acts solely on his conscience.

You three brothers have done nothing against your conscience, so why kneel?"

"But my disciple and I lied together."

"You! You're still not smart enough. The most important thing when doing things is your true thoughts. Everything else is just a means.

Apart from anything else, the money you raised from Hujiang has indeed helped nearly a hundred families.

Who are bandits? They are people who use their force to rob the people of their hard-earned property.

There is definitely nothing wrong in killing these bandits.

The reason you came here today is simply to know whether we should eradicate these bandits. The answer is yes.

We must first find a way to find this bandit's lair.

The power of Xiaoshantou Village belongs to your junior brother.

He sent his family abroad so that he could achieve great things in the future without causing his family to worry.

When your fellow apprentice comes back, don't mention to anyone that the master already knows about you.

Also, you three brothers don't have to tell me what you did in Hujiang."

"Master, why is this happening?"

"You! Your junior brother is very thoughtful and courageous. He's afraid that I'll worry about your safety."

"Junior brother must think so."

"As for where these bandits came from, I just need to ask around and I'll find out they're all gangsters.

I guess the bandits must have spies in the county town who are specifically responsible for gathering information.

These spies saw our caravan purchasing large quantities of supplies from the county market and continuously transporting them into the mountains.

They sent people to follow and finally tracked them down to Xiaoshantou Village."

"Master, my three uncles also think so. Otherwise, it doesn't make sense. The mountain has always been very poor."

"Han'er, how strong are you now? If there are 50 to 60 bandits, can you wipe them out?"

"No problem, although the shooting skills of the 80 people who joined later are not as good as our brothers.

But I think their marksmanship should have no problem dealing with this group of bandits.

The most important thing is that the bandits we killed last night were all using Hanyang-made rifles.

This rifle is very different from the foreign-made gun that my junior bought for us.

If there are 30-40 people, the fourteen of us can handle them without alerting anyone else."

“Okay, I won’t go back for now. You guys set up a few observation points near Xiaoshantou Village.

Also, have the bodies of these 20 bandits been dealt with?"

"They were taken to a brick cave and burned right there, even their guns were disposed of.

It happened to rain last night and the bloodstains on the ground have been washed away.

"Aside from the people in Xiaoshantou Village, who know what happened last night, the other villages probably don't know yet."

"We set up an observation point to prevent strangers from coming to Xiaoshantou Village during the day to gather information.

I will also ask some people on the road to see who is trying to find out about our caravan's cargo."

"Master, Han'er understands. I will do these things when I return. Does that mean I have to do this in the future?"

"Let's wait until your junior brother comes back. He's sure to have new ideas.

Let’s first eliminate the bandits who are targeting Xiaoshantou Village.

Go back and prepare. We need to arrange for some people to sleep during the day, and these people will be on duty at night."

"Okay, Master, I will discuss these matters with my uncle and the others."

Mei Zihan learned the necessary information from his master Wen Qiu Sheng. After having a meal at his master's place, he immediately returned to Xiaoshantou Village.

Watching his disciple Mei Zihan leave, Wen Qiu Sheng fell into deep thought. He didn't expect that all his speculations were correct.

He still didn't expect that his little apprentice was so bold and courageous despite having read so much.

I still don’t understand my disciple Ye Xiaoyang.

But none of this matters. It's enough to know that your disciple hates evil and is a hero who fights for justice.

What's more, he has put out so much money. If he can eliminate this group of bandits this time, it will be a great good deed.

Wen Qiu Sheng immediately went out to ask someone, and at the same time continued to arrange for the caravan to purchase supplies at the market.

He wanted to keep an eye on the situation himself to see who was targeting Xiaoshantou Village or trying to make things difficult for his disciple.

After three days of surveillance, Wen Qiu Sheng finally discovered a clue from the spy's return route.

Did he already know where this bandit group was?

They should be the group of bandits from Xiaocang Mountain, seventy miles away from Xiaoshantou Village.

It is said that the bandits had nearly 80 guns, but now they have lost 60 rifles, leaving about .

There are now 94 people in his team who can shoot, and their advantage is obvious.

Thinking of this, Wen Qiu Sheng had an idea in his mind.
